The rise of various social platforms has made taking pictures and punching in and recording life become the normal use of ordinary consumers, and at the same time, it has also promoted the development of mobile phone images in disguise, such as 100 million pixel lenses, computational photography, etc., which are all representative technologies of image iteration in recent years. And this year, a number of new imaging flagships have been released, revealing another mainstream upgrade direction for us: high-quality telephoto. For example, the OPPO Find X7 Ultra, Samsung S24 Ultra, and Xiaomi 14 Ultra, which were launched at the beginning of the year, have brought different forms of hardware innovation around telephoto.
2024 New Direction of Mobile Imaging: High-quality Telephoto).
Among them, the OPPO Find X7 Ultra is a revolution in the industry, and for the first time, it has launched a dual periscope telephoto solution, which is composed of a 50 million pixel 3X ultra-light periscope telephoto lens and a 50 million pixel 6X close-up periscope telephoto lens; Samsung S24 Ultra is replaced by the telephoto of the previous generation with a five-fold light change of higher pixels, and finally equipped with a 10 million pixel 3x telephoto + 50 million pixel 5x telephoto combination; The Xiaomi Mi 14 Ultra uses 50 million pixels32x vertical telephoto + 50 million pixels 5x periscope telephoto. It is estimated that many friends will be curious when they see this, what is the difference between the real shooting performance of the three models with the same dual telephoto scheme? Let's take a closer look.

As you can see in the 30x zoom live shots below, the Samsung S24 Ultra over-brightens the details in the distance, resulting in a heavy smear effect. As a comparison, the OPPO Find X7 Ultra and the Xiaomi Mi 14 Ultra not only control the brightness of the picture accurately, but also accurately present the texture of the emergency lampshade and the mottled details on the wall, but in terms of detail fineness, the former is better.

Subsequently, the 30x real-life samples were partially zoomed in, and the imaging gap can be said to be further widened. Among them, in the display of emergency lighting signs, OPPO Find X7 Ultra can not only see the handwriting and logo, but also all kinds of light and dark details are still in place, and the telescopic performance brought by the double periscope is unique; The Xiaomi Mi 14 Ultra is also legible, but the edges of the font are blurred. The Samsung S24 Ultra is basically a mess, and the font and logo are unrecognizable.

After chatting about extreme vision, let's take a look at the most common portrait shooting. The Samsung S24 Ultra and Xiaomi Mi 14 Ultra tend to be dull overall, lacking the transition between light and dark details, and the overall image richness is not as rich as the Oppo Find X7 Ultra when shooting in 3X portrait mode in indoor scenes with difficult lighting. In addition to the high-pixel periscope telephoto lens, the OPPO Find X7 Ultra's built-in next-generation ultra-light and shadow image engine also plays an indispensable role.

Thanks to the unique accurate light and shadow reproduction characteristics of the new generation of Super Light and Shadow Image Engine, the Oppo Find X7 Ultra has perfect detail rendering, and the model under the lens is more three-dimensional and natural, which can be intuitively reflected by zooming in on the 3X portrait detail.

To sum up, the OPPO Find X7 Ultra proves the superiority of dual periscope telephoto hardware with outstanding real-life performance, and also demonstrates its leadership in mobile image innovation. After all, in addition to dual periscope hardware, the OPPO Find X7 Ultra also has a new generation of ultra-light and shadow image engine, Hasselblad shadow tone, and innovative AI functions to improve the daily shooting experience.
